Since I have been part of the multicultural and gay communities, students would
benefit from understanding and respecting the various kinds of diversity that is present in
the world. One instance is to learn about the contributions of gay/lesbian people within
the various works of literature and other aspects such as drama or theater. Another
instance is to learn about the issue within the context of society such as stereotypes,
definitions, terms, and etc. This would allow those students who are gay/lesbian
themselves feel some sense of pride or acceptance and those students who are straight
feel a sense of understanding and respect for differences since the issue is becoming
more and more common within our classrooms.
